Answer 1

To answer your basic question... yes Adobe AIR does work on Linux.

Google "adobe air linux".

Fire up a Linux PC and go to:

http://get.adobe.com/air/

...you will be given a link to download AIR for Linux.

I use the ExtJS help pages with Linux. It installs beautifully. It is an ELF 32-bit executable, not a Windows .EXE.

$ file AdobeAIRInstaller.bin AdobeAIRInstaller.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped

TWO. Yes. Google "adobe air muiltilingual". It will take you to:

THREE. Yes. Google "adobe air streaming video". Links such as:

http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=9884

...talks about how this is done.

FOUR. Yes. Google "adobe air encryption library". Links such as:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7e31.html

...talk about storing encrypted data.

But if you're talking about encrypting your on-the-wire traffic, then AIR will certainly support HTTPS I'm quite sure.

FIVE. I'm not sure what you mean by this last question: "is it possiable to identified net traffic". What kind of net traffic, and what do you mean by "identify"?
